I find it funny that I can connect the voice to the character. Metalapod is mostly the tall inkling's vocals and the urchin's "Ska!" in Now or Never

[@panielrosebud]

The tall inkling is named Ikkan! He pairs up with an octoling (?) named Warabi later on and leaves this band.

[@bruuuuhzz]

I used to think that the guy who singed was Ikkan (the tall guy), then I learned Ichiya (the one standing at the left of Ikkan) was the main vocalist lmao

[@gekkokkid]

one thing i love about Splatoon is that even the Music has it's own character's storylines, like as you go from Splatoon 1 to Splatoon 2 & 3 you see a story of the bands unfold on the background with each game . like bands breaking up and bands that become very famous but not as famous as the idols of each games. the fun part about single player mode is that you find treasure that reveal the stories but in such a small way that you wouldn't notice unless you deep search and explore each game, it's like the creator of the game show us they didn't go to hard but the truth is that each game brings you a little continuation of each story in a small way. i mean, one of the shop people from Splatoon 3 was actually a member of 1 of the broken up bands from Splatoon 1 that say a lot.

[@epacgames9197]

Harmony was from Chirpy Chips (ABXY), however it's unclear if they're split up. However Ikkan, the bassist of Squid Squad joined Diss-Pair with Warabi, with the other three picking up a new member to make Front Roe.

[@maxrelax5940]

im sure you wouldve. if its your favourite game now it wouldve had to have grabbed you at some point. now more than ever with the promotion shifting from "your a squid now your a kid now" to showcasing in world fashion, brands, music, bands, art etc. this world has such a great amount of depth and its too stylistically unique to just pass by

Been playing Splatoon 1 since the original Global Testfire, Splat 1 always takes me back to the happiness of summer 2015. When I hear the online battle music, I don't get just nostalgic like I do a game soundtrack, I get nostalgic like I do to old radio hits. It gives me that warm familiarity I had listening to Flo Rida in 2011. Or when Owl City was everywhere. When Splatoon 1 officially goes offline, I'm gonna get double decked from both kinds of nostalgia. Remembering Squid Squad is gonna hurt even more than it does now

I don't know about the other songs, I'm pretty sure they weren't added though. Now or Never was remixed by Wet Floor and Off the Hook, while Splattack was remixed by Dedf1sh. So two of their songs kinda made appearances in the game. Excluding the game though, there are a few other places where these songs end up, such as the Grizzco Commercial which uses Splattack.

None of the splatoon 1 songs appear in 2 outside of remixes or covers so no, also the band broke up before splatoon 2 takes place
